“As a tribal citizen and a member of this community, I am proud to watch the growth of Gun Lake Casino. With each new amenity and expansion, we increase our ability to contribute to the well being of the community and our tribal citizens”, Chairman Peters said.  

Throughout the 10-year history of the casino thousands of jobs have been created, and millions of dollars has been spent on goods and services from Michigan-based companies, according to the Tribe.
